Comments (Set forth by above question #, if applicable. Use "Additional Comments" Sheet, if needed)

File #: 91-117025

1)The notes do not indicated what characteristics were used to determine the species of wood for specimens Q5-Q11, Q16, Q17G, Q171, Q18 and Q20. Therefore no determination can be made if the appropriate

tests were performed.

2) The notes do not support the conclusion in the laboratory report that the species of wood is sugar pine.

The notes indicated that the wood contained "pinoid pits" which are not found in sugar pine. Sugar pine

has window-like pits. Review completed at: 9:20 am (Time), 5 /22 (2003 (Date) Total time spent conducting review (to nearest 1/4 hour): 1 hour

I hereby certify that J conducted this review in an independent, unbiased manner and that the results of my review are fully documented on this report consisting of a total of 3 pages.
